Today, my kitten (Darwin) managed to do something on my laptop that I didn't even know was possible.. and one that I'd like to repeat - if only I knew how.See, I'd walked away from my laptop to go rotate my laundry, and came back to find the little
Well, he somehow managed to generate a timestamp within the Notepad application that I was, until today, unaware of.
So the blue arrowed and highlighted text is where the timestamp appears in the notepad document.
The only modification I made to this document (aside from the clipart) was to remove the name in the note I was making to myself at the time.
I tried a couple of variations on key presses, but didn't come up with anything even remotely resembling the outcome you see here.

Anyone have any idea how to do this again?
It's certainly not mission-critical, but I'm a geek, and now I'm curious!
On a side note, another of my cats happened to be attacking said kitten as it lay on my laptop, so perhaps we need to factor that into the equation as well.I'm pretty sure this one, Lucy, either told him what to do, or abetted the act in some fashion... which (i think) means I just got pwned again.

Though, to be truthful, I suspect his involvement was an act of revenge for his recent bath.
EDIT - So I've found out exactly how I got pwned at this point - it seems there's a Time/Date Stamp option in Notepad that's triggered by hitting the F5 key.. apparently, my kitten read the menu that I didn't!
